My kids will love you for this post 😉 I think that I’ll surprise them with a cup of hot cocoa when they get home from school today. Have you ever tried coconut sugar? (It’s actually made from the sap of the tree rather than the “nut”) Anyways, it’s lower on the glycemic index than cane sugar and actually has some nutritional benefits… add that into the mix and now you can really justify the treat!!

I love hot chocolate! We set up a hot chocolate bar every winter to enjoy throughout the cold months (lovelogicandlaughter.com/2013/12/hot-chocolate-bar-2013.html ). Now that I know how good it is for me, I will drink it and not feel guilty. We have a Nespresso coffee maker. Tomorrow morning I will be putting some cocoa powder into the bottom of my cup before pushing the button to fill it with coffee…yum!

Great post! My mom lived to be 99 and drank coco powder in her milk every day. She ate lots of chocolate the last decade. I always said it would be death by chocolate. 😉 Lost my mom this past November. She lived a long, happy life, and her life certainly included lots of chocolate. Thanks for sharing this post.
